Wait, blocking subtitles of all things? TV shows and films often get entangled in copyright issues, which sometimes make them regionally available only, but subtitles! That’s preposterous.

Ever since Nova Launcher was acquired by Branch, many users have had privacy concerns.

That is an incredibly low bar to judge any organization. There are multiple conflicts going around the world that UN has done nothing to do. When it comes to permanent members of the Security council, the UN is powerless. Heck, it is powerless if one of the permanent members decides to flex it’s muscles somewhere else geographically either.

Also, no world war is also largely due to presence of nukes with nations. The concept of Mutually Assured Destruction prevents nations from going into full blown wars when 2 nuclear powers are involved.

Truman never wanted that. He flew around knowing that his nukes gave him an advantage over the USSR. From this paper, it is clear that Truman wanted to maintain an atomic monopoly and as for Joint Chiefs of Staff, they didn’t want to share the nuclear secrets with any organization including the UN.

It’s quite old, I think. Ideological foundings were around 1970 only though the party only officially made in 2004. The then PM called it the biggest threat to India’s internal security when they spanned multiple states in their fold. Their influence has reduced significantly but they are still active in couple of states.

A bit of context, India has basically three communist parties, two of which compete in the democratically electoral form(and one even governs a state currently) and third is Communist Party of India(Maoist). The latter is officially banned by the state and there have been numerous pitch battles between government and the Maoists in the past.

Get your history correct atleast. East India Company was in charge of India until 1857 and squeezed it dry. It was basically an early blueprint of modern day capitalism and imperialism.

Yes, there are many presets in the app whose wallpapers I don’t care for either. One issue with the app failing to randomly change wallpapers could be the OS throttling the app in the background. If the app is killed for Battery saving reasons, I doubt it can do it’s job.

I really like your home screen wallpaper. Do you have it’s original source/ high resolution variant? Also, hello firefox user.

I also currently have one generated by Tapet as my wallpaper. On a tangent, the app seems to have undergone a rehaul in terms of UI, atleast on Android.

One can upload their own music to Youtube/Music’s servers via their web client.

Youtube Music’s interface is a cluttered mess and I much preferred the spartan UI of Google Play Music. It took much time for the former to reach feature parity as well. Oh, and now they shutdown their dedicated Podcasts app in favor of merging It into YT Music. It is a disappointment, to say the least.

Did you intend to say GNU/Linux?

I read the article but still can’t wrap my head over what exactly the provisions are. The ministry itself says that the advisory is not legally binding as of now.

Further down, it says

In a tweet Monday, Chandrasekhar said the advisory is aimed at “untested AI platforms deploying on the India internet” and doesn’t apply to startups.

I know it started after Google’s Gemini reportedly called the Prime Minister a fascist, well answered, which might have triggered it. But how are they distinguishing tested vs untested AI platforms and what about the startup exclusion thing?

Is that Tidal ?

Try RedReader. It still works for Reddit(they gave it an exception for accessibility reasons). It is available on F Droid as well.

Remote Monitoring. Reads more like something a malware would do.

Isn’t Arc available only on the Mac currently? Most people praising it I saw were Mac users in recent times.

When you fail the Captcha for the seventh time in a row judging or not whether that tiny spike in that box contains the object or not; you start to question your sanity.

One can disable google assistant via adb, I would assume even if google retires the former in favor of gemini, the newer could also be disabled via similar means.
